IN THE KNOW

Last Friday’s sale saw an easing in numbers following two weeks of very big sales but there was no let up in prices. “We had €3/kg given for 250kg Angus bullocks on Friday, but €1.90 to €2.50/ kg was probably more typical across the board,” said mart manager, John Curran. He also noted that there appears to be an abundance of 350-400kg types about, with a “scatter” in the of 400-480kg section. However, the 500kg bullock seemed scarce.
